FINALLY, a mock draft to get excited about.
"61. K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State Hamler has elite quickness, acceleration and elusiveness in the open field and offers the versatility to contribute as a return specialist. 93. Jabari Zuniga, EDGE, Florida"
Hamler would be the exception to what the Tennessee Titans like at wide receiver in terms of multiple years of great production. However, sometimes you get a chance at someone who can change your offense and Hamler is one of those guys.
Does he have some issues with drops? Sure, but if he catches 50% of the passes thrown to him 20+ yards down the field then he is worth the pick. Those players are game-changers when they connect and even when they don’t it terrifies DCs into backing up their coverage.
The further coverage backs up, the more steps Henrys gets to run before getting to the would-be tacklers and the more force he can create.
Zuniga has a lot of talent and if he can just stay healthy he could be a top-40 talent in this draft class. Obviously the next statement has to be that he has struggled to stay healthy and that concern is what will push him down draft boards.
Athletic and with the talent to win in the run game and rushing the passer should keep him in the top-100 as long as medical’s check out on him, which is a big if.
